What is Apella?
💡 What you'll learn: The basics of Apella and how it can benefit you or your team day-to-day.
Apella is designed for perioperative teams and leaders who want to improve operating room efficiency and performance.
Why Apella matters for your team
With Apella, you can:
✅ Track live case and room status at a glance
Stay on top of which cases are starting, running, or turning over — all from one view.
✅ Spot potential delays early
Get ahead of bottlenecks so you can reassign staff or shift cases proactively.
✅ Automate notifications to surgeons and team members
Reduce back-and-forth phone calls and streamline communication.
✅ Improve first-case starts and turnover efficiency
See where delays happen and where workflows can improve.
Apella makes it easier to coordinate care, respond to changes, and keep your ORs running on time — so your team can stay focused on patients, not logistics.
What Apella is — and isn’t
Apella is designed to track workflows, not individuals. Its goal is to make coordination easier for you and your teams.
